President’s Corner

Introduction: Ten years ago, as Farmers & Merchants Bank opened its office in Downey, little did I know that my journey with the Santa Fe Springs Chamber would lead me to become its President. Today, I want to express my gratitude to the outgoing president, Bruce Lazenby, for his exceptional work, and extend my best wishes for his well-deserved retirement from Rose Hills. I am also thankful to my executive committee and board of directors for their unwavering support. What truly sets our Chamber apart is its dedicated staff, hardworking members, and a strong partnership with the city.

Continuing a Tradition of Warmth and Inclusivity: From the moment I attended my first networking chamber event, I was struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. As the new president, it is my utmost priority to uphold this tradition. I believe that a supportive community fosters growth and success for all its members. Together, we will continue to create an environment where collaboration and connection thrive.

A Resource for All: I would like to take this opportunity to remind our business community, residents, and chamber members that the Santa Fe Springs Chamber is here as a valuable resource. Whatever your needs may be, we have solutions. Whether it's personal or business-related, feel free to reach out to us via phone or visit our website. We have an extensive list of members who offer a wide range of services. Let us connect you with the right professionals to meet your needs.

Upcoming Event: The Annual SFS Business Expo: Mark your calendars for September 18th as we prepare for our highly anticipated annual SFS Business Expo. This event is an excellent opportunity to engage with our members, learn about their products and services, and build valuable connections. We encourage everyone to attend and discover the diverse range of businesses that make our community thrive.

Conclusion: As I step into the role of Santa Fe Springs Chamber President, I am filled with excitement and determination to contribute to the growth and success of our members and our community. Together, with our dedicated staff, hardworking members, and the support of our city, we can achieve great things. Let us continue to build upon the strong foundation laid by our predecessors and create a chamber that remains a pillar of support and collaboration for all.
